Common Questions About Hair Coloring

How often should I touch up my color?

This depends on your specific service and hair growth rate. Generally, root touch-ups are recommended every 4-6 weeks, while balayage services can last 2-3 months or longer.

Will coloring damage my hair?

At Ida's Salon, we use premium products and techniques designed to minimize damage. We also recommend appropriate treatments to maintain hair health between coloring services.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

For most color services, it's best to arrive with unwashed hair (1-2 days without washing). Wear clothing that won't be damaged if it comes in contact with color, and bring reference photos of the look you desire.

How long will my appointment take?

Services range from 1-4 hours depending on the complexity. Root touch-ups typically take less time, while complex corrections or transformations require longer appointments.
